I have to say, I have been dreaming of that bag for years. However, after this video, not so much. £750 and the logo rubs off in a few years? Yeah, not worth it.

I'm a sucker for an extremely plain, roomy bag.
Fecked if I'm spending £750 on it though when I can get something of equivalent quality for €140 or less.
Especially when it won’t go up in value. It’s not a bloody Birkin bag! It’s a splurge/treat, not an investment. Evidently they don’t stand the test of time either.Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against spending £750 on a bag, and I can spend quite a lot on a bag myself as well.
I have a problem with calling it an “investment piece”.
If that’s what you’re looking for, there are plenty of other YouTubers who do look for bargains and are more focused on budget.the term investment piece is the biggest con going and very frustrating as many influencers continually buy investment and 'forever' pieces, so it's just continually really.
I wish influencers would encourage people on how to find really well made bags online at a fraction of the price. perhaps search tips on popular second hand websites (not just vestiaire collective!!) I get most of my bags from ebay, have a specific idea of what i'm looking for and can usually find beautiful vintage bags for around £30 which have lasted me years! It takes ages though, but worth it!
Also, her last black £750 tote bag is honestly the most basic thing i've ever seen, can't believe someone could spend best part of a grand on such a blah bag!
i have a couple of black plain bags like that, but can't believe she's spend so much on something quite plain!Is that the YSL one? If it is, I must confess, I love it!

To be fair, she actually sounded like she regrets it. She did say she wouldn't buy many of her bags again and she recommended the Madewell and Everlane totes over this one as better value for money.i have a couple of black plain bags like that, but can't believe she's spend so much on something quite plain!
yeah fair point!!To be fair, she actually sounded like she regrets it. She did say she wouldn't buy many of her bags again and she recommended the Madewell and Everlane totes over this one as better value for money.
'I may be a pretty tall lady (5 foot 7 if you were wondering)'Off topic does anyone know how tall is she? Her legs look so long
Thanks I actually thought she would be taller I'm 5'7 too and consider myself a dwarf'I may be a pretty tall lady (5 foot 7 if you were wondering)'
she is tall
I think she has a shorter torso and also she’ll pose in certain ways to make her legs look longer, like walking etcThanks I actually thought she would be taller I'm 5'7 too and consider myself a dwarfshe might really work out her legs then
TBF Chanel and Hermes bags do increase in value. If you’d bought a Chanel for, say, a grand in 2010, it would be worth more now even if it had been used although no idea if it would be more than inflation.It's only an investment if it appreciates or maintains its value despite being used. This is not the case for designer handbags.
I have this bag and love it. It’s a workhorse and great for work commutes. BUT. My logo rubbed off in a few months and the corners are showing wear. I used it everyday for 3 years and wasn’t precious with it, but it’s definitely not worth the price tag. Would recommend Cuyana or Madewell.I have to say, I have been dreaming of that bag for years.

I don’t think something needs to be extravagant just because it’s expensive. I don’t mind spending a lot on a plain bag, that’s just a matter of taste.i have a couple of black plain bags like that, but can't believe she's spend so much on something quite plain!
But that’s years ago. I don’t have everything I bought in 2011 either. I get tired of things too. Especially things I bought in my 20s.Anyone remember the Sophie Hulme bags she used to have? Then she got rid of them all.
They were very expensive "investment pieces". I still have and love my Mulberry Bayswater I bought 8 years ago. That was an investment in my wardrobe. It was a huge outlay, but I still love it and always feel great when I use it.But that’s years ago. I don’t have everything I bought in 2011 either. I get tired of things too.

I bet she called those an investment piece too.
